What do you like best about Smartcat?

It is relatively easy to navigate and utilize. The software is very clear and simple to track with through the course of my work on a text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

I have had some issues around with the "word-wrap" of Tibetan texts that I work with. Typically this is resolved through adjusting the widow of my browser, but there has been at least one time where there is some deeper issue and we cannot resolve the problem with the source text and several lines were persistently illegible. Still, this does not over-shadow the utility and elegance of the program as it relates to translation memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm not on the implementation team, I am a collaborator and contributor who uses the system. I imagine that it supports the organization form a data-driven translation database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Smartcat?

If you're looking for a CAT tool with the latest widgets, buttons, and features ready from the get-go, you might be disappointed here. While this tool certainly has enough meat on its bones to get the job done from most angles, the core of SmartCat is in its simplicity: it encourages buyers to purchase services from freelance translators in a non-terrifying way. If you look at resources like Proz or do a Google search, despite the availability and readiness of translators all over the world, the barrier-to-entry for the new buyer is daunting and almost off-putting. This platform/community/eco-sphere is important to connect service provider to buyer. Functional and educational at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

The editor itself needs to grow in terms of spellcheck/auto-populate/auto-suggest/track repetitions. Compared to the top CAT-tools specifically, linguist workflow and efficiency is still a bit slow. This upgrade is important to keep translators/editors engaged and excited in the tool. The other area for improvement would be custom service. The SC crew has always been the best of the best, but I think adding numbers to their staff might help take tech support email turnaround from 2-3 days down to 1, perhaps. It hurts to say but, be patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartcat:

Don't be discouraged if your support requests arent answered immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a linguist working in-house, I chose SC because it offered the basic tools I needed with the possibility of quickly outsourcing what I couldn't handle alone through the marketplace. Like many industries still getting to know what professional L10N means, my current field requires getting higherups to BUY IN to the whole idea first. By being free for me to set up and start using, Ive been able to get the L10N program off the ground with minimal up front investment, minimal risk, and it was very easy to get going. The easy interface is a nice selling point when educating other departments on what's going on (compared to the more linguistically powerful OmegaCat which I've used as a translator).

What do you like best about Smartcat?

the project management system is quite ok, that's the reason I started using their platform. But they deleted my content without warning me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smartcat?

No matter how good the translation is, if the platform can spontaneously delete your content, then why bother using it?

Plus the team was super aggressive, they spammed different email accounts of your company domain just to get an answer from you. When you politely told them to back off, they continued to spam you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Smartcat:

DON'T USE THEM if you wish to actually keep your content on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Smartcat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was trying to organize different translations for our content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
